Home Education song

i wrote this song on 22 Jan 2005 about a young boy having a home education.. which confuses him as his papa and mama are teaching conflicting things.. Who should he listen to?

This song blend on the humorous side.. so take it easy.. ;-)

You will always be - song

This song is specially written for my wife Shinni on 8 March 2006. This song reflected my feelings of having her always being with me walking thru the darkest hour, the biggest storm.. and still, we will always be, together! ;-)

Lyrics:

There's no need for our history
I only cared the future you and me
Make every step we walk on today
Build on love everyone will feel the same

Bridge:
Oh i know the clouds will come and rain
And the sun wont shine all day always
But i know love will take us thru..

Chorus:
Thru the darkest hour, the longest walk
The biggest storm, and you with me
Thru the deepest sea, the tallest mountain
The sky so high, u still with me.. You will always be.

We are the World

GreenDay - Wake Me Up When September Ends

LYRICS:

Summer has come and passed

The innocent can never last

wake me up when September ends

like my fathers come to pass

seven years has gone so fast

wake me up when September ends

here comes the rain again

falling from the stars

drenched in my pain again

becoming who we are

as my memory rests

but never forgets what I lost

wake me up when September ends

summer has come and passed

the innocent can never last

wake me up when September ends

ring out the bells again

like we did when spring began

wake me up when September ends

here comes the rain again

falling from the stars

drenched in my pain again

becoming who we are

as my memory rests

but never forgets what I lost

wake me up when September ends

Summer has come and passed

The innocent can never last

wake me up when September ends

like my fathers come to pass

twenty years has gone so fast

wake me up when September ends

wake me up when September ends

wake me up when September ends

Slumdog millionaire soundtrack - Latika's Theme

Somehow this song gives me a calm yet a little sad kind of mood.. And having watched the movie with this song, it is perfect to the ears..

Sad Song

Every night i shed a tear or two oh no

guess you still dont know the reason why

many friends say i'm just a fool to fall

in love with a heartless girl like you

Baby why cant you realise that i'm

just the one who love you most, truthfully

please dont hurt me with the words you say

again i cant take it anymore

*Chorus:

Feels like letting you see

my love's true to you

still i hope to be there

to see you thru the day

Every picture i took with you oh no

memorise the smile that's on your face

still i pray every single night for you

to be happy as you can be

**

What is on your mind

cant you share with me

still i hope you are mine

for my love is true (it's really true)

repeat *

note: i wrote this song on 6 Dec 1996 and manage to record it only today.. it's about a good guy falling for a material girl who prefer a rich man.. sad rite?  ;-)

Buddha was here - song & video

This song was written & released on Youtube in Jan 2007. So more one half years later, it had gathered over 1,600 views. I am happy! Like Buddha was here with me. Blessings! ;-)

Will there be heaven when i die - Song

will there be heaven when i die

will there be angels by my side

and lift me off my feet

and take me to your solemn side

will there be heaven when i die

if there isnt where will i be

be the food for the trees

so the song that they sing to remind

will there be heaven when i die

will you lay by my side

cause that would be nice

i call it heaven if i should die

i just wanna lay by your side

that's heaven if i die...

notes: This song is written on 16 Apr 1999. It's a defining song for me as i was at a cross-road in my life; just before i knew Buddhism. There's some cheekiness in the song as well - the first portion of the song talks about if there's heaven.. as the song moves on, it's actually singing about love.. about a girl.. Ultimately, it's love or the girl that i care about.. not whether there's heaven or not..  ;P

You will find - song

It's okay if u wanna cry

Let your tears flow Rain drops autumn nite

It's alright u can let it go

There's still light ahead of your life

It's time now to walk the green

Breath the air that's freedom fresh as spring

Dont look back those crazy times

it's the future that matters most this time

Just dont give it up

Keep on moving on somehow you will find

note: This song is inspired by my friend Ferlin. In fact, she asked me to write her a song since i wrote one for JW.. So, I promised. I delivered. I think this is a beautiful song. Hope she will like it. Even Shini thinks is a nice one.  ;-)

Time to go

Chorus
Standing on the rooftop
Feeling breezes blowing
Against my face
And I know it’s time for me to go

There’s a time for everything
A time for memories
Lessons for history

As we gather one last time
To share our victories
Rejoice this life that’s free

[repeat Chorus x3]

notes: i wrote this as a farewell song.. putting the pictures in this video will help me remember them whenever i revisit this blog page.. i will miss some of my colleagues.. they're genuine nice people.. too bad i dont have the pictures of all of them.. Yup, in the end, as one of them says "Life will go on.." sad but true. Let's keep it in memory lane while we move on.. ;-)

Sometimes Attitude song

Sometimes you wake up
On the wrong side of bed
You knew someone will be
Hurt by what you said
It’s time to do something
To change the way
You’ll be a happier person
To be with..

[hum the rhythm]

It’s not that difficult
As it seems
Only a little patience
And a plan to go with
Add a little support
Here and there
You’ll see
Sunshine.. and all smiles..

notes: Sometimes Attitude is inspired by JW. Not tat she has lots of attitude.. just sometimes! ;P It's also the first time i used the macbook's garage software to create.. yup, just bought my very first macbook! ;-) and oh.. to give justice to JW.. she's actually one of my best mentee, excellent collegaue/co-worker & most trustworthy friend!! ;-) i wish her well in whatever she wants to do.. Blessings.

La Mer song in The Diving Bell & The Butterfly french movie

I like this movie though it can be disturbing.. makes me think abt my life.. Got to treasure my life..  The camera technique used is also very interesting - like seeing things thru the man's eye..

And i just loved this song coupled with the movie..  ;-)

La Mer - kewego
Song by Charles Trenet sung in French with ukulele accompanimen. Chanson Francais avec ukulele

I Like It (music video)

It’s a warm Sunday afternoon
A lazy day
Took my guitar Grab a drink
Lay me down on my sofa
I dream on

Watch my love beside me
She’s working on
A little gift made of paper (origami)
And if you think
it’s kind of silly
To waste a good day doing nothing at all

Chorus:
I like it x 4

Got a friend who always ask me
Why don’t i
Buy Apple (Mac) Not Orange Not Pear
I guess it doesn’t matter
So long I get my job done ya..

So if he ever asks me
Ever again
What should I tell him
To get him off my back
Guess I’ll speak the truth
And how I feel about it ya..

[repeat Chorus] x2

Note: This song is meant to be naughty, crappy with an attitude, and it’s inspired by Koh Beng Liang who always asked us to buy an Apple MacBook. The song was written on 17 Feb 2007 but it took almost a year later before i found time to record & video it.. ;-)

How did it happen?
The inspiration began when Beng Liang keeps asking questions why i do this & why i do tat.. so i told him tat in most cases i've a reason for doing things.. in other cases, i just like it lor.. no particular reason. Then as we were walking he suddenly swing his file hitting my back! i asked him why he do tat for? He said "I like it!" Ha ha.. tat's how the song came to be.. ;P

Way Back Into Love (full version)

i just watched the DVD of this movie and loved a couple of the songs.. and then i chanced upon one of my favouite song on my fren's blog.. ;-)

Here u go...




(Drew Barrymore)
I've been living with a shadow overhead,
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed,
I've been lonely for so long,
Trapped in the past,
I just can't seem to move on!

(Hugh Grant)
I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away,
Just in case I ever need them again someday,
I've been setting aside time,
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind!

[Chorus]
(Both)
All I want to do is find a way back into love.
I can't make it through without a way back into love.
Oooooh.

(Drew Barrymore)
I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine,
I've been searching but i just don't see the signs,
I know that it's out there,
There's got to be something for my soul somewhere!

(Hugh Grant)
I've been looking for someone to shed some light,
Not somebody just to get me through the night,
I could use some direction,
And I'm open to your suggestions.

[Chorus]
(Both)
All I want to do is find a way back into love.
I can't make it through without a way back into love.
And if I open my heart again,
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end!
Oooooooh, Ooooooh, Ooooooh.

(Drew Barrymore)
There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation

[Chorus]
(Both)
All I want to do is find a way back into love,
I can't make it through without a way back into love,
And if I open my heart to you,
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do,
And if you help me to start again,
You know that I'll be there for you in the end!
Oooooooh. Oooooooh. Ooooooooh. Oooooooh. Ooooooh Ooooooooh. Ooooooooh.

Lynnette's Dream - video & song

There is my second MTV!! hurray!!
Hope u all will like it! ;-)

Special note: Lynnette Low, an ex-colleague and friend, whose dream of setting up a cafe by the beach inspired this song. This song is written in 22 August 2005.



Lyrics:

i can see the sunshine in your eyes
You are running down that coastline
The birds are singing.. you're in paradise
The place you're dreaming.. soon be realised

Chorus:
I can see your smile
Tells a lot what's on your mind
Open up your eyes and
You may be surprised

I can feel your passion in the wind
Calming every soul who share your dream
When the nite fall comes U will believe
This dream is your real destiny

[Repeat chorus]

Bridge:
There's no doubt u will surely fulfill
A dream that is so wonderful
I believe it will all come true
If u just do what u gonna do

Have some faith and Lynnette's dream will come true..
Have some faith coz Lynnette's dream will come true..

'Buddha was here' song & video

*Every time you were around.
All my troubles seem so small.
And your voice that’s so soft.
Melts the devil’s fireball

Every time I turn around
I see your smile it calms me down
Now I know heaven’s not far away
It’s all it’s all in one’s embrace

Chorus:

And I feel (say in your mind ‘the breeze’)
And I see (say in your mind ‘the light’)
And I thought… Buddha was here..

Tell me lady if this is true
Is this my destiny you see
The light, the love, the pain, the joy,
The tears, the wind, and you with me..

[repeat Chorus]

The light, the love, the pain, the joy,
The tears, the wind, and you with me..

[repeat Chorus]
Repeat * to ~ (play gradually slow to stop..)

Note: This song is inspired by Buddhism. Though the song has a little bit of rock feel, it is really a peaceful and calm song expressing that feeling as if Buddha had been around and no other distraction can affect me; while I seek my own enlightenment.
